Hyundai 3000W Leaf Blower, Garden Vacuum & Mulcher, 45L Bag, 12m Cable, Variable Airspeed 62–170mph, Lightweight Electric Garden Tool – Blue

After reading some of the reviews I was impressed with the machine and have used it and it is a lot lighter than I expected, Easy assemble no issues and I liked the long cable as well and the large capacity bag easily clipped under neath and would recommend this Leaf Blower for any garden. Now I can just hoover up the leaves and this machine shreds them as well which makes life a lot easier. The wheel at the front is a nice touch as it doe help when your bag gets heavier, but "Please do not use it in the Rain or when the leaves are wet or covered with snow" as one of my neighbour already found out never to use any form of electrical equipment in wet conditions. He is a lucky man to day. He will learn, but this is a good machine, noise is not to bad, but I always wear my ear protection when using any machines that make a bit of noise to save the ears as I am not a young man anymore. I would recommend this powerful wee machine I really do like it, and it is a good investment for my garden.

This is a great item and priced very well. The whole machine works perfectly it sucked up all the large leaves from my garden no problem and with three very large trees over hanging i get piles of leaves that gather. It even dealt with wet leaves fine. The odd occasion if it does get blocked, i found to put it on full speed blow and back to suck again a couple of times usually clears any blockage . Its a much better machine than the price tag and it will do the job i believe as good as any other model. The weakness with this item is the bag. The bag is connected to the machine via a bit of tied string and this string in time will stretch/wear and once that happens you get small holes where the small munched up leaves will be pouring out behind you while in front of you, you are sucking up the big leaves. If they could have put a plastic connection to the bag to create the seal right then this machine would be the best for the price of any other machine you could find. The release mechanism for the bag is weak also and can easily break so i would advise not to detach if you can help it . Further more the zip isnt the best of quality and this could over time break as well especially being in a garage with the damp and cold getting to it.once the zip goes the machine is useless. When considering the low price i guess i could just buy another one now the bag is now causing issues so thats why i put a 4 star. But in truth i would have preferred to pay more with a better bag connection. I have had my leaf blower/hoover now for 14 months

Powerful and effective. Good value for money. Much improved on my last one

Pros: * Lightweight * Low noise * Collection bag design * Efficient shredding * Not sucking up gravels Cons: * Poor blowing * Nozzle jam with large/piled leaves * Uncomfortable switch After number of years using multiple Flymo GardenVac 2700 (4-in-1) which is no longer available, I needed to replace it as the shredding part broke off, and chose this item based on the price and reviews. Compared to the previous garden vac/leaf blower, this is a lot lighter thus easy to handle, quieter, has better designed collection bag (the previous one required self assembling and often "self disasembled"), better shredding system, and seems to be better at not sucking up garden gravels. On the other hand, despite having higher power, it doesn't appear more powerful and very difficult to blow leaves (I guess due to the shape of nozzle), narrow nozzle often get jammed with larger leaves (e.g Sycamore) which is not helped by the assembly split in the nozzle that catches the leaf stem, and the design of switch (trigger) makes it dig into your finger which is uncomfortable to use for prolonged period. The fact that it doen't seem to pick up gravels but small leaves and sycamore seeds (the garden is mainly gravelled), I decided to keep it rather than returning but I'll also keep the old Flymo for blowing (and gather majorty leaves manually for disposal). I need to wait and see how it works with oak and hasel leaves and nuts/acorns when they starts...

Absolutely brilliant product. Takes about 3 minutes to assemble. Only used the vacuum function so far but it hoovered up all the leaves, and shredded them. Variable speed is useful so the machine isn't overwhelmed. Light as a feather. Beware that on vacuum, it can get blocked, but just remove the waste bag and clear the blockage. The variable length of the suck tube means you can roll it along the ground, avoiding backache. Interesting that its branded as Hyundai but is made in China, not South Korea.

It's important to know that the instructions instruct you not to use this as a vacuum on wet leaves - motor may short out, bag and tube may clog. However... As there are rarely two dry days together in an English autumn/winter I took it upon myself to ignore this advice. The vacuum works fine - it won't pick up really wet leaves and the pipe does get clogged if you just stuff the end in the middle of a wet pile of leaves but if you take drier leaves from the top there's no problem. There's plenty of power on the 3000W motor both sucking and blowing. Vacuumed leaves are mulched into smaller compostable pieces on their way into the bag. The bag itself is easy to empty via the zip and I've hung it up to ensure it dries inside and out before I use it again. Noise is proportional to power. If you're using it for hours on 'max' then probably eat defenders are appropriate but at lower powers for short periods it's fine. The extendable pipe and adjustable shoulder strap make it easy to use for almost any height person (I'm 181cm tall). First time use but so far so good.
